Preparation & Use

Measure the desired amount of potato pearls into a bowl or steamtable pan. Add hot water according to the package ratio, stir gently until fully reconstituted, and hold warm for service. For best results, let the mixture stand briefly after stirring to allow complete absorption. Adjust liquid slightly for a thicker or creamier consistency as needed. No cooking required; the pearls hydrate directly with hot water.

Application Areas

Full-service and quick-service restaurants, hospital and senior-living dining halls, school cafeterias, military mess halls, correctional facilities, catering operations, hotel banquet kitchens, and disaster-relief feeding stations.
